The milkman has delivered milk to last until Monday and a note saying he may not get through the snow on Friday
that has never happened before. I think some schools around here will be joining you very soon.

Re: S'no school!
Enjoy your duvet day, Rhian!I don't understand all this 'school closure' stuff - they never did it when I was at school. One year the snow was about 2ft deep and we still had to walk the mile and a half to school. The teachers were all there, so was the caretaker - sweeping paths and covering them with salt and sand. If we were in a classroom without heating then we were allowed to keep our coats on - other than that it was business as usual.
Have we bred a generation of wimps or what?
What about the parents of these children? Presumably one of them will have to stay at home and lose a day's pay?

Re: S'no school!
How on earth did we survive in the past when we had snow, oh yes we just got on with it.Last year Edinburgh council closed offices and schools two days before the snow fell.
We had very light dusting of snow which did not bother Millie on our walk this morning, in fact I lost her as I think she went chasing a mouse or something but she knows which way to go and I met up with her further down the road.
Snow such as it was has disappeared Armageddon averted in Edinburgh.
